Java 8 Swing application: javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: RSA premaster secret error

I have a Swing based Java application that uses Java 8 u161.
The jre that the application uses is stored in one of its directories (it doesn't use an installed jre).
One of the screens in the application approaches a Webshere that is installed on a distant server via HTTPS. The public key is installed on cacert in the client's jre\lib\security folder.
When the application runs as a standalone application, all is well: the handshake is completed successfully, the message is sent to the server and the returned code is 200 (OK).
But when the application runs in collaboration with another application (a dotnet application that injects code to the Java application. I'm not even sure what exactly), a "javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: RSA premaster secret error" is thrown
Most similar problems on the internet were solved by uninstalling and reinstalling all the Java versions. But my Java is not installed, so I can't do that.
I tripled checked that my Java application uses the correct jre- it does.
I can't understand what causes this exception and I don't know what else to check.
Here is how I open the connection:
URL servletUrl = new URL(urlStr); //throws java.net.MalformedURLException
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(new ChequesServletHostnameVerifier());
servletConnection = (HttpsURLConnection) servletUrl.openConnection(); //throws java.io.IOException
servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);
servletConnection.setUseCaches(false);
OutputStream os = servletConnection.getOutputStream(); //throws java.io.IOException
And here is the complete stacktrace:

Like many people mentioned in older posts regarding exception
javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: RSA premaster secret error
it means that two different java versions are mixed. Therefore, reinstalling Java helps.
In my case, apparently, the dotnet application set the java extension folder to an older java version. When the extension configuration was set to the correct Java version, the problem was solved.

"java.lang.InternalError: HTHEME is null" on arbitrary JREs (Windows)

We are getting an exception when changing the Windows Theme on Windows 7 (via right-click Desktop > Personalize) while our Java app is running. Searching the web did produce some results, but they are mostly about java bug reports that claim to have been resolved ages ago. This is the trimmed and partially obfuscated stack trace:

... goes on and on
It seems to be related to LAF. The app does not support changing LAF after startup. It does call
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
at startup, however. This happens on a Windows 7 Enterprise x64 machine, running 1.8.0_74 64bit an arbitrary JRE version. This is an example of a Java bug report which appears to be quite similar and is supposedly resolved.
Can anyone shed some light on what the cause may be and how it may be worked around (besides the obvious "do not set system look and feel on Windows")?
P.S.: A comment in the linked bug report claims:
A good application to reproduce the issue is SwingSet3 (https://java.net/projects/Swingset3).
Change Look-and-Feel to Windows, and click JInternalFrame in the list of components on the left. Create several more internal frames. Try switching Windows themes: Windows 7 Basic ??? Windows Classic.
but we had no luck doing that it only happened a single time for us, while SwingSet3 was showing a JTable.
Edit: this indeed happens during Windows Theme changing - either when done manually or when the user logs on to the machine running the Java app through Remote Desktop. To ensure a more responsive interface, Aero may be disabled and a switch to Windows Classic based theme may be made automatically. I've edited the question accordingly.

The only way around this is to ignore this specific exception instead of throwing it into your user's face, which is exactly what we did. Since it happens during painting, there's no major harm done and the app survives it just fine (during testing at least). This is probably the reason no one cares about actually fixing it (besides Swing dying slowly over time).
If you get HTHEME is null exception and the stack trace mentions a table header renderer, read this answer, if you are using a custom renderer that wraps the default one. That one has a proper solution.

P.S. Video-driver installed.
How can I fix this problem?
I use WIN10, jdk1.8.0_51, jre1.8.0_60 (if it important fact)

The problem is with OpenGL, because at com.badlogic.gdx.backends.lwjgl.LwjglGraphics.createDisplayPixelFormat(LwjglGrap‌​hics.java:320) line 320 in LwjglGraphics says OpenGL is not supported by the video driver. So you should check that your card supports at least OpenGL 1.5, and if so update your video card drivers.

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: No such child: 15

So I'm getting this kind of obscure error, and I don't know what it means. Without viewing my code, can someone tell me what causes this error and possible solutions to this error? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without seeing any code, or any SSCCE which illustrates the issue we can basically only guess what is going on. My bet would be you are messing with your Swing components on another Thread, and the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is a result of removing components on the wrong thread.
In order to debug this, I would start by using the CheckThreadViolationRepaintManager and fix any errors it indicates.
If this does not work, I would try putting a breakpoint for the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, see which container causes the error and try to put breakpoints for any add and remove method on it to determine who removes the component causing the exception (probably on the wrong thread, which you can easily check with the EventQueue.isDispatchThread() method )

if you are using swing use worker threads to control the components worker thread tutorial

The weird thing is that the order I check and uncheck the JCheckBox-es matters. I'm trying to see if there's a pattern, but I don't have enough data yet. I'm just trying to get some ideas on where to go looking for potential problems.
EDIT 1: I just checked the four methods called in the edited lines of the stack trace. They are only called when the window opens to initially populate the fields with the required data. Once the dialog is open, they are never called, so they aren't the problem.
EDIT 2: After triple checking the state of every variable in the edited out function calls, I've pretty much eliminated them as being culprits.

Looks like you have a JTable with a DoubleRenderer for one of your columns and the data you get contains illegal values for that decimal column. Probably some alphanumeric characters instead of numbers only.
